We now have 3 buildings for rent. The Cozy Camping Cottage, the Camping Cabin and the newest addition is our A-frame which is the most secluded spot on the land. - Voted best Hipcamp in Indiana to visit for 6 years. - Listed on Rachael Ray Magazine's "8 of America's Coolest Campgrounds" We offer a "Camping Cabin", The "Cozy Camping Cottage" or tent camping in Black Walnut Grove, in an open field, in the woods, or a shady grove. We like to interact with people or you can keep to yourself and have a quiet getaway in the woods. Sorry, but the tree house isn't available to rent since it is my home. I may rent it out in the future. Also in progress is the "Dome" We are on a solar powered, off the grid 30 acre homestead that has 24 acres of wooded land and 6 acres of groomed land. Come explore our land and relax in the "Tree Web", see the 2 story tree house that I live in, have fun on the tire swing, or just sit and enjoy all that nature has to offer. You can explore our interesting topography that has close to 100 foot of elevation changes, our (mostly) dry creek system that starts with 2 springs that drain into 3 sinkholes or walk 3 miles of trails (if you follow each trail from end to end). We love groups - Host your event here or have a group gathering with all your friends and family. We have spaces large enough to host hundreds of people. We welcome pets for camping, but no pets allow in the Camping Cabin. Also be aware that we have 2 friendly dogs on the land that roam freely. - 3.5 miles to Marengo Cave - 7 miles to the Blue River (canoes, rafting and swimming) - 30 minutes to Patoka Lake - 37 miles west of Louisville - 13 miles north of Interstate 64

Black Walnut Grove at Happy Hollow
Perfect!
Well, it was just immaculate. Beautiful trees, leaves changing colors 😀 And all so well kept! Kerry was an excellent host, and made us feel welcomed. Our dog ran and played with his dogs in the big open field, which was so great for her! The first thing I noticed is that it was so quiet and peaceful! Perfect for meditating or quiet r&r. It was also very private, which was wonderful to me So if you are seeking to be surrounded by NATURE in a QUIET, PRIVATE and PEACEFUL setting, I highly recommend Kerry's place.

One to remember
If you are looking for a peaceful place in nature, this is it! So relaxing and well kept. My stay was too short to take in all the amenities, but our dog absolutely loved playing with her new friend !

Good Stay
Peaceful & quiet site. We arrived real late on our first night, and Kerry kindly met us to guide us into our site. The hot outdoor shower is a nice amenity. We also enjoyed the campground dogs that visited with us throughout our stay. The one exception to that was when they welcomed themselves to the food contents in our small cooler one morning before arising for the day. Kerry’s maple syrup is delicious, and it was nice to learn he even makes syrup from black walnut trees.

Quiet and Peaceful Site
The site was quiet and peaceful. Kerry was friendly and accommodating. The maple syrup that he makes is delicious. It was also interesting to learn that he also makes black walnut syrup from the trees there. The outdoor shower is a nice amenity. We also enjoyed our campground dog guests with the exception of them making themselves welcome to the food in our small cooler on the last morning - just beware of this.
